At the Boulevard Grange, it was easy to whittle down the gift list

The temptations were on every table at the Boulevard Grange.

KJ Kuhl of Prairie City was eager to tempt customers with samples of her handcrafted chocolates.

Lisa Wood of Nyssa was the chief salesman for her husband Brian’s work in leather and wood – from knife holders to toy trucks.

And Patricia Gzik was there to help ensure every Malheur County kitchen could shine with her handmade scrubbys, dish towels and more.

Once again, the Boulevard Grange puts on its annual holiday bazaar, stretching over two days, Friday, Nov. 25, and Saturday, Nov. 26.

Books, holiday décor, blankets and more were stacked on tables.

And in the rear, shoppers could catch a quick and affordable meal.

Another holiday bazaar with such handcrafted goods is scheduled at the Malheur County Fairgrounds for Friday, Dec. 2, and Saturday, Dec. 3. The bazaar repeats the following weekend.
